C Support
===========
:link_to_translation:`zh_CN:[中文]`
.. highlight:: cpp
ESP-IDF is primarily written in C and provides C APIs. `Newlib <https://sourceware.org/newlib/>`_ is used as standard C library (the Newlib version can be found in :component_file:`newlib/sbom.yml`). In general, all C features supported by the compiler, currently GCC, should be available in ESP-IDF, unless specified in :ref:`unsupported_c_features` below.
.. _c_version:
C Version
---------
**GNU dialect of ISO C17** (``--std=gnu17``) is the current default C version in ESP-IDF.
To compile the source code of a certain component using a different language standard, set the desired compiler flag in the component's ``CMakeLists.txt`` file:
.. code-block:: cmake
idf_component_register( ... )
target_compile_options(${COMPONENT_LIB} PRIVATE -std=gnu11)
If the public header files of the component also need to be compiled with the same language standard, replace the flag ``PRIVATE`` with ``PUBLIC``.
.. _unsupported_c_features:
Unsupported C Features
----------------------
The following features are not supported in ESP-IDF.
Nested Function Pointers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The **GNU dialect of ISO C17** supports `nested functions <https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Nested-Functions.html>`_. However, they do not work in ESP-IDF when referenced as function pointer because the compiler generates a trampoline on the stack, while the stack is not executable in ESP-IDF. Hence, do not use function pointers to nested functions.
